I am a German who uses KZbin to practice my English comprehension capabilities. I completely agree with your video except of the AirBnB part. This AirBnB system has led to the fact that flat owners do no longer rent out their flats on long term basis but convert them into AirBnB's to make more profit. It becomes harder and harder for the locals to find affordable accomodation.

Gerd Papenburg I completely agree with you. Also, just think about how many people work for a hotel. Not only the waiters, recepcionists, etc. The companies that provide food and stuff to the hotel have so many workers too.

Gerd Papenburg we see the same problem here in Hawaii ... Airbnb is affecting a lot of home owners...
@prairiehorse61685 жыл бұрын
I think a better way to usr AirBnB is to pay for shared accommodation/room where the tenant is already living instead of renting out an entire apartment.

Great video guys, but I would not reccomend Airbnb because it's being a huge problem with gentrification (people see that renting their house to tourists is more profitable than renting it to locals to live there, so prices go up, and now local people have to leave that place for other one because they can no longer pay the rent). It's being a pretty big problem in Spain.

I feel like you make a great point about exploring your own back yard. We always have the sense of "oh it'll always be there" but say you move cross country, or out of country then....You have to fly back to go visit. So visit your back yard while you can. A 4 hour drive is a lot less on the planet, than say a 5-7 hr flight.

I may have taken the 'slow travel' to a whole new level...I spent 3 months camping down the west coast of Scotland and through Ireland. I had my own tent, and lived by the sun - so one torch battery lasted me the whole trip! I walked or caught a bus/hitchhiked as my way of getting around and ate simply but local where I could. I had all my own reusable stuff and often used he ocean as a way of getting clean (salt water makes for an amazing cleanser and sand makes for such a good exfoliant).

So it's pretty save to travel by bike. Besides you're exercising.

This is a great video - the only thing that I wouldn't do is stay in Airbnbs as it's not sustainable in a lot of communities as wealthy people are buying up properties in prime locations to rent to tourists and it is causing a housing crisis. If I remember correctly it's a massive issue in some cities in Portugal at the moment. I'd recommend staying in locally owned B&B's or accommodation providers instead.
